"How do you think this mask came to me?"

Cheng Ji then said, "It was dug out from a grave."

For a long while, Shangguan Qing did not refute him. Cheng Ji suddenly became serious. Did he really come out of the grave?

He was just talking nonsense.

Shangguan Qing, "It's best not to touch the dead's things. You might run into something dirty at night."

After she finished speaking, she made a face, which scared Cheng Ji so much that he almost fell off his seat.

"Then why aren't you afraid?" he asked curiously, "Besides, you have so many antiques in your shop, many of which were dug out from graves."

Not just a lot, but almost all of them.

She picked up the bronze mask, walked to its original display case, and put it away carefully.

"After all, I've been with them for so long that we've become old acquaintances. Naturally, I won't get hurt." She knocked on the edge of the display case. "Don't underestimate them because they're dead. They're very spiritual."

Plus, she is the Lord of the Underworld.

She can take care of the souls of people after they die, let alone their things after they die.

Because Cheng Ji has the star of loneliness on his body, he is very sensitive about offerings to the dead.

I am afraid that if I get involved in these things, it will kill more people.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.

"Then do you have any antiques that can restrain the lonely evil star? I want to buy them." His eyes were shining with anticipation.

There should be many rare treasures among the offerings.

Shangguan Qing shook his head and lowered his voice, "No, the Lonely Evil Star on you is not that easy to break."

Cheng Ji's eyes drooped, and he looked lost. "Maybe this is my fate."

The topic became increasingly serious and the atmosphere became depressing.

Cheng Ji changed the subject, "You have a new male employee in your store now, why don't you accept the house I give you, it will be convenient for you to live in."

"No——" She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was interrupted.

"Don't rush to refuse. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the two employees. It must be very inconvenient for two grown men and a woman to squeeze into the store."

After saying that, Cheng Ji turned his head and looked at Yu Hai, "Are you right?"

The topic suddenly turned to Yu Hai.

He was a little confused, "?"

Yu Hai glanced back and forth between Shangguan Qing and Cheng Ji.

What should he say...right or wrong...the adults didn't teach him in advance.

Shangguan Qing saw that he was using Yu Hai as an excuse, and suddenly sneered, "Okay, I'll go take a look later. If the environment is good, I'll buy it."

In short, you can’t take it for free.

"You will definitely like it." Cheng Ji vowed with a firm tone.

......

By the time Youxuan returned to the antique shop, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Shangguan Qing closed the shop, and the four of them went to a restaurant to eat first. Then Li Yang drove and they went to look at houses together.

The villa that Cheng Ji chose is located in a residential area along the coast, and the security there is indeed very good.

If they want to go in, the security guard has to see the homeowner's ID card and will only let them in after the information matches.

Cheng Ji led them all the way to the deepest building.

Take the elevator all the way to the 22nd floor.

There is one apartment per floor here, so the privacy is very good.

Cheng Ji took out the key, opened the door, and looked up to see the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. The view was wide and the sea view was outside the window.

"The location is pretty good, I like it." Shangguan Qing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and was already fascinated by the azure scenery outside the window.

She likes the sea.

Youxuan fell headfirst on the sofa in the living room, which was custom-made with real leather and was so soft to lie on.

"Big..." He realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his words, "Sister Shangguan, let's live here from now on."

The antique shop wasn't bad, but the wooden floor was certainly not as comfortable as a custom sofa.

In addition, this is a four-bedroom house, so after sleeping on the sofa, you can go to the bedroom.

It makes me feel good just thinking about it.

Yu Hai stood aside and said nothing.

He felt that it didn't matter where he lived, as long as he was safe.

Shangguan Qing raised his eyes to look at Cheng Ji and asked, "How much is this house? I'll buy it."

"I'll give you a friendly price of six dollars. If you miss this village, you won't get this price anymore."

"Seriously, how much is it?" she said in a serious tone.

Seeing her serious attitude, Cheng Ji had to straighten his tone and said, "Five hundred and twenty thousand, including decoration."

At this time, Li Yang, who was sitting in the car, was looking at the housing prices in the community.

When he saw the price, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"The cheapest one costs five million, and the one with a sea view costs tens of millions! Oh my god, the world of the rich is so different from mine."

He may not be able to earn enough to buy a house in his entire life.

Comparing yourself to others will make you feel nauseous.

......

Shangguan Qing admired the view from the floor-to-ceiling window for more than ten minutes.

The view of the blue sky and the blue sea outside the window is something you will never get tired of.

She turned around and walked towards the door, "Come on, I'll go back to the store and give you the money."

Cheng Ji smiled, "Okay."

After leaving the community, he left first on the pretext that Qin Hao was in the hospital and he had to visit him.

Youxuan saw that he was walking very fast and asked in confusion, "He doesn't even want the money if he runs so fast?"

Shangguan Qing had seen through Cheng Ji's thoughts long ago, "He never thought about asking for it, so just give it to him next time we meet and go back."

......

afternoon.

Cheng Ji did come to the hospital.

He hadn't originally thought about coming over, but he couldn't stand Qin Guotao's continuous phone calls and message bombardment.

He also threatened him: "If you don't come, I will demolish the Cheng residence and destroy the Cheng Group for you! I have raised you for ten years in vain, and you have turned out to be an ungrateful person!"

It's the same few sentences over and over again, without any innovation.

He walked to the inpatient department and just happened to see Qin Guotao and Wen Ruwan holding medical records in their hands.

They caught a glimpse of Cheng Ji's figure out of the corner of their eyes.

The two of them raised their heads at the same time and rushed forward with ferocious momentum like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

Qin Guotao grabbed his collar hard, veins bulging on his arms, "What on earth did you do to him! He is still unconscious."

Cheng Ji shook off his hand, his face calm and indifferent, "Then you should ask Qin Hao what he did?"

"Come here!" Wen Ruwan dragged him into the ward. "Look at him. He was fine, but now he's lying on the bed like a vegetable. Is this what you want, Cheng Ji?"

She called his name at the end with emotion.

His heart ached when he heard it.

During his ten years in the Qin family, he watched Qin Hao grow up.

But that doesn't mean he will condone Qin Hao doing wrong things again and again.

Cheng Ji gritted his teeth and said, "I will find a way to wake him up, but this matter is his own fault. It's useless to vent your anger on me."

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads and the atmosphere was tense, Qin Qianyue arrived.

She stood at the door of the ward, looking much thinner than before and very tired.

In an instant, it felt like she had grown five or six years older.

Cheng Ji was stunned when he saw the changes in Qin Qianyue.

She looked at Cheng Ji with lifeless eyes and ordered him to leave. "Go away. You are not welcome here."

Cheng Ji didn't want to stay any longer, so he passed her and left the ward.

Qin Qianyue turned her head slightly and watched his back getting farther and farther away, until the back that she once relied on disappeared at the elevator entrance.

Her heart ached slightly, as if it was being grabbed.

"Qianyue, come in quickly!" Wen Ruwan called her.

"Yeah." Qin Qianyue withdrew her gaze and walked in.

......

Every autumn rain brings a chill.

The weather is getting colder.

It was raining heavily on the way back home, and the windshield wipers were shaking back and forth busily.

Li Yang asked through the rearview mirror, "Mr. Cheng, it seems that Miss Shangguan's birthday is coming soon."

"Her birthday?" Cheng Ji raised his eyes, his eyes instantly cold, "How did you know?"

Even he doesn't know this.

Li Yang felt a chill down his spine and quickly explained, "Ms. Shangguan has joined Cheng Corporation and has filled out the employment form. Her birthday is next Monday."

"Yeah." Cheng Ji's expression softened a lot.

Li Yang's heart was finally at ease.

It's not easy to be an assistant at work day by day.

Cheng Ji looked out the car window and fell into deep thought: Birthday...what should I give her?

What gift should I give her so that she won’t refuse again?

she......

His mind was instantly in a mess, just like looking out the window through a car window washed by rain, it was a mess at first glance.

When we arrived at Cheng's house, the man suddenly started coughing.

Uncle Yan walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you have a cold? The weather is getting colder now, and you can catch a cold if you're not careful."

Cheng Ji waved his hands, still unable to stop coughing, "It's okay, just get some sleep."

......

"strangeness!"

Shangguan Qing covered his chest with his hands. He felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially his chest, which was stuffy and uncomfortable.

Yu Hai walked over with concern and handed her a glass of water, "My lord, why don't you go back to the underworld and let the King of Hell take a look at you?"

No human doctor could treat her symptoms.

"I know the reason. It's either Cheng Ji or Mu Cheng."

The key thing she didn't understand was that even if Cheng Ji wasn't injured and bleeding, her heart would feel uncomfortable.

Last time, he was just surrounded by thugs, but she could sense it.

Then she will suffer a lot in the future!

"Youxuan, you go..." She changed her mind after a second thought, "Forget it, I'll go by myself. Yuhai, you and Youxuan stay in the store together."

"Okay, sir." Yu Hai said.

Shangguan Qing opened the drawer, took the prepared cash and left the antique shop.

My chest still feels tight.

What happened again?
